Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)
Requested articles (Motor sports)
Requested articles (Estonian sportspeople)
Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup :
* Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state)
* Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.)
* Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing.
* Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
Expand : Professional sports (crucial article explaining the salaried undertaking of sports)
* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)
Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs
Update : List of world sports championships
Other :
- Translate the page of sport in each country from corresponding article in other language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia which was marked in red.
- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

Hoax section removed[edit]

I have removed from the article a section, added by an IP last December, about how Handel composed a "Rutabaga Chorus" and later adapted it for the "Hallelujah Chorus", because it is (a) obvious nonsense and (b) a straight copyvio from here, which is (c) not a reliable source.

umm... wait -- some edit to this article is a hoax, but the article itself is to be taken seriously??? I can accept (barely) the idea of this ridiculous contest, but I have trouble believing something so retarded is undertaken in sincerity, and if so, I still can't see why it merits the dubious -- but still real -- honor of a wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.228.6.74 (talk) 15:09, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actual History of Honoring Rutabaga in Ithaca, NY[edit]

The history of the Rutabaga in Ithaca, NY began in the 1970's. I posted it once. It was removed and I was banned from posting on Wiki. I'm annoyed by Wiki. I would also like the information about Handel's Rutabaga Chorus replaced. Information can be found on file IN HARD COPY in the Archives at Prudence Risley College for the Creative and Performing Arts at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. -Adria M.
